Pros

You will learn a lot about what it takes to manage a big company. You really feel like the owner of the product, and even as an engineer, you can guide the direction of the business.

Cons
  • On-call can be rough if you are on a very demanding team, such as AWS.
  • Free food, like at other top tech companies, would be very nice and would save plenty of time spent eating out, allowing that time to be spent working.
  • Being located in downtown Seattle, if you don't live in Seattle, parking is expensive, and commuting also takes a good amount of time.
